Tina's New Survey, cause she knew I'd cut and paste it
Current mood: sleepy

1. What does your MySpace quote mean?
"Just making my little corner of the world a little brighter...."
well, it's the whole bloom where you are planted philosophy. Kinda Pollyanna-esque, but honestly, what more can you do on this planet except try to make your little corner a little better, a little happier, a little brighter. Beats watching CNN and being sad, anyway.

2. Elaborate on your default photo:
Jade took it after she made me laugh. I like it because there was a flash, candlelight, it was summer and I was laughing.

3. Who is the first person on your top 8?
Jack Johnson. I love him. I would so make him banana pancakes, but, he is married so no banana pancakes for him.

4. What's your relationship with the people in your top 8?

Jack Johnson- I paint to his music
Dave Matthews Band- I have fallen in love to his music
Coldplay- Only band to write a decent song about green eyes, and Fix You is great
Regina Spektor- way cool girl, I think I'll invite her over to sing for her supper
Chris Rice- best of the Christian Rock singers ever, Lemonade and When Did You Fall In Love With Me make me smile
Rachel Yamagata- Ah, sang the song at the end of Prime that made me cry, "I Wish You Love"
Van Morrison- Grew up loving him, dated a man that has everything he ever recorded so he will always be a special singer to me
Yoda- I am a Star Wars freak

and the real reason that I know none of these people? Too much pressure to fill up top 8 when I love my real people all so much!


5. What exactly are you wearing?
orange shirt, grey shorts

6. What is your current problem?
I painted the trim, doors to the pantry, dining room, and the pocket doors to the living room... all in the kitchen... I painted them..... oh, I am ashamed to admit it... I painted over the pukey taupe that's been there forever with... Bougenvallia. spelling?? I painted it a hideous hot pink color that looked like a nice wine shade in the store. My inspiration was from a neat print of huge reddish grapes carried away by handsome Italians.
My favorite quotes on the color, in order:
"Looks like a Valentine threw up in here."
"It's hot pink, not red, not wine, nothing but hot freaking pink"
"It's ...exciting... like, 'oh, let's eat! let's eat breakfast!'...kind of exciting"
"Why, Jana, why??"

8. What makes you most happy?
my loved ones when they are happy make me the happiest
